Singular perturbation results for linear partial differential-algebraic equations of hyperbolic type

Abstract

We consider constrained partial differential equations of hyperbolic type with a small parameter $\epsilon >0$, which turn parabolic in the limit case, i.e., for $\epsilon =0$. The well-posedness of the resulting systems is discussed and the corresponding solutions are compared in terms of the parameter $\epsilon$. For the analysis, we consider the system equations as partial differential-algebraic equation based on the variational formulation of the problem. For a particular choice of the initial data, we reach first- and second-order estimates. For general initial data, lower-order estimates are proven and their optimality is shown numerically.
